The Daily Baller
Est. 2025
A calm way to stay current with the sports world.
The Challenge
Information overload is real
It's harder than ever to feel caught up. Scores, rumors, hot takes, and endless scrolls beg for your attention. Even when you're just trying to see who won last night, you can get dragged into a rabbit hole of commentary, push notifications, and speculation that never ends. You end up checking constantly and rarely feel finished.
Most sports apps are built to maximize time-on-site, so they keep dangling more content: live blogs, recommended clips, algorithmic feeds, and comment sections that stretch forever.
The Daily Baller takes the opposite approach. We acknowledge the challenge and design against it—no autoplay videos, no mystery meat navigation, and a clear bottom of the page so you can move on with your day.
The Mission
Daily, clear, enough
Deliver a site you can skim in minutes and feel informed. It doesn't have everything, but it has what you need—the scores, a few key stats, the standings, and what's coming up next.
The goal is simplicity: one edition per day with a predictable rhythm. Open the page, scan the top stories, dive into box scores if you want, and take a quick glance at the standings before checking the upcoming slate. That's it. No refreshing every few minutes. No cliffhangers that force you to keep scrolling.
The Inspiration
A modern sports page
The Daily Baller is modeled after a newspaper sports section: a tidy spread you can casually flip through, grab the context, and get on with your day. It's a digital nod to box scores and standings printed on paper—familiar, finite, and reliable.
Think of it as unfolding the sports section at breakfast. You see the front-page headline, a few game summaries, and the standings grid that shows exactly where everyone sits. It's tactile, calm, and confident—and that feeling is what inspired this product. Minimal animations, generous typography, and subtle textures reinforce that analog vibe in a modern format.
